I got a phone call today -

Ms. Anderson this is "Bill with Imperial Majestic Cruise Lines" and I wanted to let you know that you are the grand prize winner in the sweepstakes that you entered 3 weeks ago on our site for a 3 night 2 day cruise to Nassua Bahamas.

I nearly flipped out - Whoopee!!!  I thought

He started telling me all about the cruise, and all the 8 meals a day, and all the entertainment on the cruise, and all the things to be done in Nassua, and went on for about 10 minutes.

THEN: - - -  He said, now, Ms. Anderson, I need you to know that you can take this trip anytime in the next 12 months, and that you can book your stay at our Ramada Resort for the days prior to the cruise and days after the cruise for the sum of $498,,,

And I said to stop right there -  what days prior to and after

My what a scam - he really had me going there for a bit - thought I had really won something - but it ended up being just a scam to get me to buy a week at their resort in Orlando and get tickets to Universal Studios for 2 days and spend the 2 days on the cruise ship as an extra.

Depressing - what a way to go.

But glad I caught on early.

I tried to get the cruise out of them without the other stay at the Hotel, but no such luck.

Many years ago me and my wife "won a cruise" to the Bahamas where all we had to pay was the taxes and fees which was around $250. We get to the Bahamas and they put us up in a cock roach infested hotel room ( the worst I've ever stayed in ) .

Then they tell us that they have free tickets for us to the attractions if we listen to their time share pitch.

We actually couldn't afford the time share but we were pressured into buying it anyway.

Then after we bought they put us up in a really nice hotel room.  scratch

But the trip all in all was disaster with all the running around and we lost our birth certificates and almost could not get back on the cruise boat for florida.
